There is a sensible middle road here wich you are purposely trying to ignore. Thing is, there is no good reason for the quests to not have at least XP rewards, even if they are somewhat nerfed. So the question is in fact, what about this offends YOU so much?
People are giving their speculation why the devs may not have included exp in it. Theyre making the educated guess that the likely reason the devs dont have it give exp is it could cause some sort of imbalance. This is different from your Point of View, where you speculate they didnt do it cause...lazyness? Theyre incompetent? Or some other failing that is so easily avoidable. We can speculate all we want about it, but at the end of the day the devs did not incorporate exp into it for whatever their reasoning is. And your assertion that there's no good reason relies on you ignoring everyone elses position regarding this.

If were gonna discuss why it might possibly cause issues, a pretty straightforward point is that youre hoping it would have exp as a means to replace other leveling methods. For that to be satisfactory, it would need to incorporate roughly the same exp rate if not better. And when you get to doing that, then its a point of min maxing. All it takes is one person to figure out the math and point out that running "Chapter X" over and over is faster than anything else. Im willing to bet that in that case, said chapter probably will be predominately a dialogue chapter. It is most likely that if no exp is involved, it has specifically to do with some variation of this point. Now you may not like this. You may think its stupid. You may think "Who cares if I can do this!" but the Devs care, and theyre priority is to the game and their company. You dont like it, well, sucks to suck but thats tough beans.

If you dont think the min/maxing is a thing then let me point you to POTD. For a while, the fastest way to level was spamming floors 50-59. Or how about Doma Castle? That was just pull to the first boss then quit and repeat. People are clever about min maxing. With as expansive as the MSQ is and the ability to pinpoint a direct point in the story, what makes you think that this wont happen either? Particularly if exp from NG+ were to scale with level. Fairly certain that for overall game health, it probably wouldnt be good to depopulate content that requires gameplay in favor of other content that can be done by spamming left click.

Again this is speculation, but its grounded in basic thinking here and pointing to previous examples that are/were in the game. Its just an explanation as to why the devs might not want it to give exp. Its not offensive to players if it were, but were not complaining and dismissing any possible reason why it doesnt outside of "The Devs Suck".
